Himsworth Scott is looking to hire a Senior Associate

We are looking for an experienced lawyer with experience of disputes (be that litigation, white collar crime or regulatory) and an understanding of the challenges faced by leading organisations and individuals when they hit problems. An understanding of defamation, privacy and data protection law is useful but not essential.

The role will involve a diverse range of clients and work, so you should have strong communication and people management skills, and a desire to achieve technical excellence. Because you will have frequent contact with clients you should have strong client management skills, and able to quickly analyse and triage complex situations, in what can be pressurised environments for the clients.

You will be invited to participate in the firm’s business development activities, from client management to networking, therefore experience and a desire to enhance these skills is important. The emergence or existence of strong client management and marketing skills will aid your progress in the firm.

Language skills and a desire to travel are an advantage, IT skills are essential.
